X-Men: Days of Future Past combines the best elements of the series to produce a satisfyingly fast-paced outing that ranks among the franchise's finest installments.

David Sims

The Atlantic

It is especially impressive that Days of Future Past is a success; a film this gooey and complex, with such business-minded scope, should not feel like a real movie at all.

Vanity Fair

In an age when more and more movies just feel like stepping-stones toward the next, bigger things, is it so much to ask that it be a good movie all on its own?

At the Movies (Australia)

I guess I am a sucker for these sort of time travel films, travelling back in time to change the course of history.

Rated: 3.5/5

While more action would of been ideal, there are some great character moments here that this franchise is known for.

Patrick Cavanaugh

The Wolfman Cometh

Effectively united some of the elements that X-Men fans had been waiting years to see, though doesn't quite due justice to the source material and squanders the good will of what X-Men: First Class earned the series.

Rated: 4/5

Keith & the Movies

It’s start is a bit jarring, the future Sentinels look pretty generic, and I could list a few other nitpicks. But in terms of story, storytelling, and sheer entertainment, the movie scores where it counts.

Rated: 4/5

Second only to 'Logan', one of the best movies in the franchise. It's a shame the quality plummeted after this one.

I think this could be the very best movie of the X-Men, I really like it, and the Rogue Cut it's better than the Theatrical Cut.

One of the best movies i've ever seen. Can't believe it took me 11 years to get to see, but it was magnificent. The flow of the story was smooth, all the characters had their meaning so it didn't feel clattered. The visuals look amazing for such "old" movie and for comparing them to some of MCU projects throughout 2021-2023. I will look forward to seeing the next installment "X-Men: Apocalypse" with hope.
